4 0

Answer:E none of the above

Explanation:

When a space shuttle orbiting around the earth then earth gravitational force keeps the shuttle in its orbit by providing centripetal force. Tangential velocity makes the shuttle to revolve around the earth. Earth gravitational pull is significant to make the shuttle move in orbit while the Passengers feel weightlessness because they are falling downward but never able to reach as they move fast enough such that earth curves away them.

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is "6666.67 N".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass,

m = 0.100

Relative speed,

v = 4.00 x 10³

time,

t = 6.00 x 10⁻⁸

As we know,

⇒  F=m(\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} )

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒      =0.100\times 10^{-6}(\frac{4\times 10^3}{6\times 10^{-8}} )

⇒      =6666.67 \ N

Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 26 ft diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses i
hammer [34]

Answer:

a_M=1.92a_A

Explanation:

\omega_M=\omega_A = Angular speed

r_M = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

r_A = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex

A nerve impulse travels along a myelinated neuron at 90.1 m/s.<br> What is this speed in mi/h?
algol [13]

Answer:

201.5537 mph

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 90.1 m/s

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = distance/time

To convert this value into miles per hour;

Conversion;

1 meter = 0.000621 mile

90.1 meters = 90.1 * 0.000621 = 0.05595 miles

1 metre per second = 2.237 miles per hour

90.1 meters per seconds = 90.1 * 2.237 = 201.5537 miles per hour

90.1 m/s = 201.5537 mph

A block of amber is placed in water and a laser beam travels from the water through the amber. The angle of incidence is 35 degr
7nadin3 [17]
Answer: 1.88

Explanation

Applying Snell’s Law, sin(1)/sin(2) = n(2)/n(1), where n is the index of refraction and sin 1 and 2 being of incidence and refracted respectively.

1) sin35/sin24 = n(2)/1.33
2) 1.41 = n(2)/1.33
3) n(2) = 1.41 x 1.33
4) n(2) = 1.88

Hope this helps :)
